Tomorrow’s Encounters
By Paul Wilson

You forced your way inside
taking your pleasure from my pain
Raping my mind with no regard
for my loss what would you gain

Like a thief you struck
in darkness of night
Words and memories missing
before I could put up a fight

Why did you choose me
what gave you the right
Give me back my memories
give me back my sight

Even thou you won the battle
today I will even the score
Give me a ray of hope today
and tomorrow I’ll win the war

My train of thought fading fast
words are spoken but nothing heard
I have but one last thing to say
even thou my speech is slurred

You lost the war today
I am the victor you see
From this disease called cancer
I am finally free

Ahh so true! Cancer is a thief that steals many lifes, and has stolen many friends, and family members. This poem reflects victory on a once darkend day. Kudos! Nice post.

Roniece... Thanks for caring and asking.
This is fictional, even though I have lost relatives to cancer.
Most of my writing is from the standpoint of trying to see things thru anothers eyes...Paul

trutodaraiders...Glad you could relate to this. Thanks so much for taking time to read and reply...Paul
